The result was   delete. Per extended rationale at Articles for deletion/Daniel Lehmann, and fact the news sources about him seen to only look at him on the field (i.e. "Steedley won us the game"), the news sources aren't really about him, they're about the team he is involved in. ~ fl 06:03, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Non-notable low level minor leaguer, fails WP:ATHLETE. Giants27 (  t  |  c  |  r  |  s  ) 18:02, 6 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete or merge to Minnesota Twins minor league players. I've added a ref for a small award, but not seeing much notability out there.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  22:12, 6 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - Minor league All Star selections are made by minor league managers. If a guy makes it two years in a row, that should tell you something. Steedley will be in the majors shortly.--Johnny Spasm (talk) 22:24, 6 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment: previous AfD at Articles for deletion/Fort Myers Miracles players.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  22:31, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. Fails WP:ATHLETE. Contrary to what was said in the other AfD, the Miracle is not a professional team . They are a minor league team. Minor league players don't qualify. Niteshift36 (talk) 07:39, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * The opinions of people who say "The Miracle is not a professional team" should not count.--Johnny Spasm (talk) 11:05, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Minor league teams are professional teams. They pay their players. The issue of the notability of the players is separate from that. But the team is certainly professional. Spanneraol (talk) 13:21, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
